Ryan Giggs trial live: New witness gives evidence against Giggs after 999 court calls | UK News
After a brief stint in the proceedings, PC Billington is giving evidence in court.
He confirmed that he attended Ryan Giggs’ speech following a report of a “domestic disturbance” and an allegation of assault.
Police bodycam footage showing Giggs reporting the alleged assault was shown in court again.
Footage shows the officer asking Giggs about Kate Greville’s date of birth.
“Her’s? I don’t know,” he replied.
Giggs told officers that Ms. Greville “wouldn’t give me the phone for about half an hour”.
Giving evidence in court, PC Billington said he told Giggs he was under arrest.
Prosecutor Peter Wright QC asked the officer if he was impressed by Giggs’ state at the time.
PC Billington replied: “I believe he is intoxicated.”
The officer said he came to this conclusion because Giggs was “slow” to respond to questions and “his eyes seemed a bit dull”.
